The primary advantage of ozone treatment is reduced environmental impact especially in case of chemical oxygen demand (COD) values of the process effluent. The highly oxidative ozone gas substitutes conventional harsh chemicals and decomposes back to oxygen owing to its limited half-life. Hence, ozone treatment seems as a good alternative for oxidative bleaching purposes of cellulose.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaterials scienceBleachingCelluloseChemical oxygen demandCleaningEnvironmental impactEffluent treatmentOzoneTextile processingTextilesCellulosic fibersEnvironmentally friendly alternativesHalf livesOxidative bleachingOzone gasOzone treatmentProceedings Paper0004172149000972-s2.0-85035029671254Materials science, multidisciplinaryMaterials science, textilesBleaching; Cotton Fabrics; Whiteness
